Be careful though, just like when using Manage Database, the Field Picker will lock the current table when editing field options if you are working on a live FileMaker system. To edit the field options, right-click on the field from the Field Picker and you can select Field Options or Delete Field.

The Field Picker allows you to quickly create a new field and view or edit any field options just like you can using File -> Manage Database. Under Drag Options, you can choose between horizontal and vertical placement of the fields, as well as three different options for label position: No labels, labels above the fields, or labels to the left of the fields. You can add multiple fields to a layout at once, which will definitely speed up the process when designing layouts. To access the Field Picker, in Layout mode in the toolbar, go to View > Field Picker or select the Field Picker button on the right side of the function bar next to the layout stencil guides button. The Field Picker allows users to add multiple fields at once to a layout, create new fields, and edit field options, all without opening Manage Database. One exciting feature, the Field Picker, provides convenient and time-saving options when creating or editing layouts. FileMaker 13 comes with many new features.
